Definitions
- a readily manufactured device which will dependably release an active material (e.g., a pharmaceutical agent, a cleanser or a deodorizer) at a zero-order rate into a fluid medium (gaseous or liquid) has remained an elusive goal, particularly when the device is in the form of a tablet for controlled in vivo release of a pharmaceutical agent into a biological fluid (e.g., the fluid of the gastrointestinal tract).
- an active material e.g., a pharmaceutical agent, a cleanser or a deodorizer
- Jacobs U.S. Pat. No. 3,113,076 (1963) in which the drug was combined in a suitable carrier and tablets obtained by an extrusion method.
- the principle was to form tablets with approximately equal outer and "inner" surfaces, the latter accessed by aperture(s). As the exterior surface is dissolved, the area decreases, while as the inner surface dissolves, the surface area increases. Absent diffusion effects respecting the interior surface, the total surface, and thus rate of solution, would remain relatively constant.
- Jacobs' tablet is a cylinder achieving equal inner surface by a multiplicity of cylindrical holes which are parallel to the axis of the outer cylinder, and accessed by the multiple apertures at each end of the cylinder.
- Brooke U.S. Pat. No. 3,851,648 (1974). Brooke discloses a cylindrical container, closed at the ends, with a cavity in the shape of a cylinder sector with the aperture in the form of a slot in the outer surface of cylinder (parallel to the axis of the cylinder), said slot at the apex of the cylinder sector cavity. See also Brooke et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 66, pp. 159-162 (1977). In practice, this device produces release rates which are initially high; Lipper et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 66, pp. 163-164 (1977).
- the device might be implanted into body cavities, but there is no suggestion for use of this device in the form of an ordinary tablet, or for a method of manufacturing such a tablet. Further, the device described by Brooke contains an inner compartment fully or partially filled with active substance leading to the surface of the device through a cavity.

- FIG. 6 shows an oblique view of a bolus prepared as that in FIG. 2 in which the coating is removed in strips from the side of said bolus around the circumference of the device at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the device.
- a heavy insert can be used in the center of the device, if necessary.
- FIG. 7 shows an oblique view of a bolus prepared as that in FIG. 5 in which the coating is removed in strips from the side, at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the bolus.
- FIGS. 8-10 show the rate of release of active substances from tablets and boluses prepared in the specific examples below.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 show side and end views, respectively, of a cutting machine used to remove the coating in strips on the aforementioned devices.
- the present invention is readily practiced, offering advantages over other controlled release devices.
- One important advantage is the nearly constant (zero-order) rate of release of active ingredient over virtually the entire release period.
- the outstanding feature of the devices of the present invention is the simplicity with which they can be prepared.
- the device is a bolus or an ordinary cylindrical or drum shaped tablet the active ingredient or ingredients are blended with an inert excipients and formed into the appropriate shape using conventional tablet presses or bolus molds.
- inert ingredients or excipients aid in tablet or bolus formation and also in controlling the rate of release of the active substance or substances from the appropriate device.
- An inert ingredient can be of the dissolution type, wherein it is eroding or dissolving at the same time as the active substance, or it can form a matrix which is not soluble, and retains the shape of the device as the active ingredient is released.
- the excipients include ethylene-vinyl acetate and ethyl cellulose.
- a portion of the inactive ingredients of the bolus device in addition to being that described above, can be a metal core, usually steel.
- This core is employed to insure that the bolus remains in the rumen or reticulum of the animal being treated, and is not prematurally regurgitated. In cases where a metal insert is deemed undesirable, it can be replaced with a ceramic core or some other dense material.
- a coating is applied using coating pans or some other available coating technology.
- a variety of impermeable coating materials can be employed, such as ethylenevinyl acetate.
- a strip or strips are removed from the side. When more than one strip is removed, the removed strips should be placed equidistant from each other around the side of the tablet.
- Such a tablet is illustrated in FIG. 1, in oblique, having substantially impermeable all-covering wall or coating 10 except for removed wall or coating as strips equidistant from each other 11, 12 and 13.
- a shaped bolus is coated by conventional means as illustrated in FIG. 2, in oblique, the coating 22 then removed in strips 20 and 21 from the side of the bolus. As previously indicated, the strips are spaced equidistant from each other.
- a weighted core in the bolus This may consist of steel shot or rod running the length of the device.
- the cross section shape of the rod can be circular as illustrated in FIG. 3, 32 such that the rod is centered in the middle of the device, with the active substance forming a cylindrical shell around the rod.
- the removed strips of wall or coating 33 are spaced equidistant from each other on the side of the bolus.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the cross section of a bolus device in which the hollow cylindrical shell is filled with a rod having a hexagonal cross section 42 shape. In this case the removed strips of wall or coating are placed equidistant from each other and opposite the midpoint of each hexagon side.
- a bolus device with four strips removed would accomodate a rod with a square shaped rod, the strips placed equidistant from each other and opposite the midpoint of each side of the square rod side.
- the application of the present invention is also meant to apply to cylindrical devices in which the cross section of the bottom of said device is larger than the cross section at the top.
- An example of such a controlled release device is illustrated in FIG. 5, in side view, 53.
- the coating 52 is removed as a strip 51 on the side of the device.
- the strip removed is wider at the portion of the device which is wider and tapers to a narrower width at that end of the device which is more narrow.
- the adjustment of the strip width to the corresponding tapering of the device allows for a prolongation of the zero-order release of the active substance.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an oblique view of the bolus similar to that in FIG. 2 with the coating 62 removed in a strip or series of strips 61 circling around the surface at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the device. If more than one strip is removed the strips should be removed equidistant from one another.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the same bolus in which the coating 72 is removed in strips 71 at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the bolus. Again, if more than one strip is removed they should be placed equidistant from one another.
- the devices of the present invention can be formed into the various shapes described with excipients, the active compound will generaly be thoroughly blended with conventional, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to form either devices of the dissolution type (where the excipient disintegrates and generally dissolves along with the active ingredient) or of the matrix type (where the active ingredient diffuses into the surrounding medium leaving the matrix intact).
- Excipients typically used for either purpose include lactose, sucrose, calcium lactate, magnesium stearate, ethyl cellulose and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
- the tablets or boluses are optionally compression coated (see Ellis et al., Chapter 10, "Tablet Coating", in “The Theory and Practice of Industrial Pharmacy", Lachman et al., eds., Lea and Febiger, 1970, p. 207 et. seq.) to form cylindrical or drum shaped tablets and boluses as illustrated in FIGS. 1-7.
- the coating materials which are used are substantially impermeable to the device contents and to the ultimate gastrointestinal fluid. A wide range of coating materials can be used and the water flux through the coating can be minimized by the selection of a proper coating thickness. Coating materials which are biodegradable over a longer period can also be employed. On an experimental scale, coating is conveniently accomplished by repeated dipping of the device in a volatile organic solution of a polymer such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
- the final step in the preparation of the devices of the present invention comprises the removal of the essentially impermeable wall or coating in strips as previously described. Removal of the coating can be by simple manual cutting, but on a commercial scale is carried out by machine cutting, laser cutting or high pressure water cutting.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 A cutting machine useful for removing strips of coating from the devices of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
- a vibrating feeder 94 aligns the coated devices 92 as they pass through a portal leading to three drive belts 91 and 97 (shown) driven by drive belt motors 99 (shown) and supported by a drive belt support 98 (shown).
- FIG. 12 shows an end view of the cutting machine showing the vibrating feeder 81, the three drive belts 82, 85 and 88 driven by drive belt motors 87 (shown) and the three cutters 83, 86 and 90 driven by cutter motors 89 (shown).
- the position of the device 84 as it is positioned in relation to the cutters and drive belts is shown.
- This particular cutting machine is set to remove the coating on the sides of the devices at three points equidistant from each other. Similar types of cutting machines can be employed to make more or less cuts to the sides of the devices, as previously mentioned.
- the strip or strips of coating which are removed can vary in width. Wider width strips expose more of the active substance to the fluid medium and release the active material more quickly. While the width of the strips can be varied, the release rate from the herein described devices is still zero-order.
- the ratio of the width of the strip of removed coating or wall to the circumference of the device can be from about 1:16 to about 1:100.
- the strip removed can vary in width from top to bottom of side of the device.
- the uncoated strip dimension can be kept in proportion to the diameter of the device at any point.
- the finished devices are tested in vitro for zero order release of the active ingredient as detailed in the Examples below.
- the in vitro tests are correlated with the in vivo rate of release, for example, by measuring the blood levels of an active agent over time following ingestion of the device.
- the present bolus device When the present bolus device is used for delivery of active agent(s) to a ruminant mammal it will generally be in the form of a bolus for long term delivery (.g., 2 weeks or more) in the rumeno-reticular sac (rumen or reticulum) of a ruminant animal, dosed orally by means of a conventional bolling gun.
- the bolus is designed so that it is of a size that will permit introduction into the rumeno-reticular sac via the esophagus, and retained there by means of its weight, or by means of change in shape which occurs after its administration.
- a tablet consisting of morantel tartrate and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (50:50; w:w) weighing approximately 119 mg was coated with ethylene vinyl acetate by dip-coating the tablet in a 10% solution of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer in toluene at 55° C. three times, allowing the tablet to dry each time before the next coating.
- the in vitro release of morantel tartrate from the tablet was determined as a function of time.
- the test was conducted in water at 40° C.
- the quantity of morantel tartrate released at a given point in time was determined by direct ultraviolet spectrophotometric assay of a withdrawn sample.
- Two disks consisting of morantel tartrate and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (50:50; w:w) and measuring about 1" in diameter and 0.075" thick were coated as described in Example 1.
- the coating was removed on the side at 5 places equidistant from each other.
- the width of the strip removed was about 2 mm by the thickness of the disk.
- the coating of the second disk was removed in a similar manner from six positions equidistant from each other on the side of the disk.
- boluses Five boluses were prepared, using a compression mold with a centered insert in the shape of a hexagon rod approximately 4" in length and a face width of 9/16", containing a 50--50 mixture by weight of morantel tartrate and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. The boluses were dip coated using a 10% toluene solution of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. The boluses were dipped three times, each time allowing the coating to dry.
- Each bolus contained approximately 36.5 g of the 50--50 mixture.
- a bolus consisting of a mixture of terramycin hydrochloride and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (50--50 by weight) was prepared as in Example 3, with exception that a cylindrical plastic insert was employed in place of the stainless steel.
- the formed bolus was coated with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer using a 10% ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer-toluene solution.
- the device was dip-coated three times, being allowed to dry each time before the next coating.
- the coating was removed at six positions on the side equidistant from each other. Each strip was about 0.080" wide and 4" long, the length of the bolus.
- the ends of the bolus were sealed with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer by dip-coating.
- the bolus contained 42.57 g of the mixture of terramycin hydrochloride and copolymer.
- Example 2 Following the procedure of Example 1, a large tablet measuring approximately 2.5" in diameter and 1" thick, and comprised of a mixture consisting of p-dichlorobenzene and polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight 1000) in 60:40 portions, is dip-coated with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Strips of the coating measuring about 1/16" wide by 1" long are removed at four positions on the side of the tablet equidistant from one another. The device is used as a deodorant in the air space of a diaper pail, where it is effective for at least several days to several weeks.
- a 350 mg tablet consisting of 30% sodium benzoate, 45% ethyl cellulose, 24.5% spray dried lactose and 0.5% magnesium stearate by weight is dip coated with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer three times, allowing the tablet to dry each time. Three strips of coating measuring about 1 mm wide are removed from the side of the tablet equidistant from one another. When tested according to the procedure described in Example 1, the sodium benzoate is released at a constant rate (zero-order release).
- Example 2 In a manner similar to Example 1, a tablet measuring 3" in diameter and 1" thick and comprised of O-phenylphenol and p-dioxanone in a weight ratio of 1:10 is dip-coated with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and five strips of coating measuring 1/16" wide by 1" long are removed from the side of the tablet equidistant from each other.
- the tablet is used in a toilet tank, where it provides effective germicidal action for several weeks under normal use conditions.
